text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For those of you who know me well, you know that I spend a lot of time at Haliburton Forest, and the Wolf Centre. &nbsp;I invest a lot of time in watching and photographing the wolves, because you really never know what is going to happen. &nbsp;Wolves being a wild creature of nature can go from sleeping one moment, to playful the next. &nbsp;The wolves are a joy to watch, and I have learned so much about wolves in the past 9 years of photographing them. &nbsp;This image was of Manitou who died several years ago now, but he will always be one of my favourite. &nbsp;I was inspired by a photograph I saw of a wolf close-up on the cover of B&amp;W magazine. &nbsp;I had to come up with my own version, and Manitou was the perfect subject. &nbsp;Buy your own fine art print of Manitou now, and proudly display him in your home or office for a special price. &nbsp;Please contact me for more details. &nbsp;lxdesign@rogers.com &nbsp;

The camera is a compact mirrorless camera which uses interchangeable lenses, and can also adapt to F mount Nikon lenses. This camera produces awesome 10 megapixel images with decent quality for print or web.<br /><br />A couple of weeks ago while exploring the countryside, we came upon an old church, and my friend Sarah modelled for us with one of the costumes that she has brought.<br /><br /><a title="Sarah At The Door by lxdesign, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lxdesign/6906153402/"><img alt="Sarah At The Door" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7203/6906153402_4561ca4edd.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></a><a title="Sarah At The Door by lxdesign, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lxdesign/6906153402/"></a>David Sweeney Photographyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14947090945718460454noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259322131253651781.post-28243767790157081672012-02-02T13:20:00.000-08:002012-02-02T13:26:17.386-08:00C41 processed Black & White film.I haven't posted anything in a while, so just wanted to quickly share an image. I recently was given some Portra B&amp;W 400ASA C41 film (that's right colour film - but it shoots as black&amp;white). So I went out for a drive with my lovely wife a few weekends ago, and shot off a roll.

<br />invites you to attend the launch of yet another exciting
<br />initiative that celebrates the Beach.
<br />
<br />THE BEACH 2012 CALENDAR
<br />On September 6th at 7:30 pm at Community Centre 55, the Beach Photo Club, a community non-profit organization, in partnership with Vistek and Community Centre 55, will launch its second-ever professional-quality calendar focused on the Beach community.
<br />Sponsored by Vistek, the calendar is an initiative that will support arts and social services in the Beach community while celebrating the Beach. A portion of each sale will go back to BPC and Community Centre 55 toward their valued programs.
<br />The beautiful pictures in this calendar were taken by BPC members and were juried and selected by a panel of notable local community members. Featuring forty-nine spectacular images of the Beach, this stunning photo product is a practical calendar that emphasizes the seasons in the Beach, and includes photo tips for all who want to sharpen their photographic skills.
<br />The calendar will sell for $20 and is available through club members, Community Centre 55, and selected retailers.
<br />This launch will include an exhibit of the 13 main images, many of the club photographers whose images grace the calendar and some of the individuals who played a key role in the juried selection of the 2012 calendar photos. Please join us to celebrate this unique community endeavour.
